Pigs Stolen – Stuffed in Van

I love bacon just as much as the next dog, if not more. No I’m not talking about Kevin Bacon, but rather, the food.

Although I like it, I would never go to the lengths a couple of Hungarian thieves did in procuring their porcine.

Wouldn’t it have just been easier to go to the local McDonalds and just order a Bacon, Ham and Cheese biscuit? Or head over to the Honeybaked Ham company for their signature dish? Heck, I’d even go so far as sitting down at a Waffle House for some fried fat bacon before trying to kidnap a dozen pigs. But then again, I do enjoy the path of least resistance.

Two thieves were caught in southern Hungary with 12 pigs stuffed in their small van during a routine traffic check, Hungarian police said on Thursday.

Police stopped two men in a Renault Kangoo near the town of Szigetvar, about 137 miles south of Budapest, as they attempted to drive off.

‘The pigs weighed about 25-30 kg each – they were really squashed into the car very tightly,’ a spokesman said.

The image of a circus’ clown car comes to mind. Instead of clowns coming out of the Volkswagon Beetle, though it’s a constant stream of Ms. Piggys. Mmm…tasty.

Sunbear Squad Tip of the Week

Be a Good Samaritan for animals.

Urgent: Extreme cold kills outside tethered dogs and cats, especially those animals without heavy coats, the malnourished, the very young and the elderly. Tethered animals in southern regions are at higher risk for hypothermia because they have not grown heavier coats over time like they would have in cooler climates. Watch for animals that don't have adequate shelter; speak with owners or call the authorities immediately.
